Paymaster William A. Winslow, 
Artists are human like other mortals, and aro 
as much subjected to the needs of bread and but¬ 
ter its people whose toiling is done nearer the 
crust of terra Aram, There aro many kinds of 
heroism, and is not one soon in one’s Hitting day 
after day, putting the best part of him self on 
canvas, hoping to make it an aid to ennoble peo¬ 
ple, and all the while poverty clutching at pal¬ 
ette and brushes and the future impenetrably 
dark ? Perhaps this is not heroism. It might be 
more heroic to throw down each dainty tools and 
take up the ax or shovel to win broad. You can 
have it which way you like. But at best, the 
utter dearth of picture buying is anything but 
encouraging to artists. Foam of them cun af¬ 
ford to work and wait and live on accumulated 
gains fortt your or t wo, veiling tbelr pictures to 
keep off the dust. But many poor young artists 
are waiting, like Mieawber, for something or 
somebody to turn up who wants a picture. One 
cannot properly Judge by a picture whether t he 
artist will make a great, painter or not. This is 
well illustrated in an anecdote of Washington 
Allston. During a visit to Europe ill his later 
days, a picture was shown him by Iub artist, 
friends, and ho wasasked if he thought the man 
who painted it hud genius or would make a fair 
artist. Ai.lston looked the daub over in a kind¬ 
ly way, und said “ it was unfair to decide of one's 
talent in Mint way. But he should say without 
much hesitation that the man who painted that 
piot ure had neither genius nor talent for the art, 
and the sooner he threw aside his paints tho bel¬ 
ter.'’ Tii© picture was then taken by a friend 
and removed, and Allston read on the back of 
t he canvas his own name and tho date of the 
first year in which he began to paint. So it is 
well, perhaps, that artists keep on hoping and 
bringing out new forms of beauty, if not, at 
once appreciated or appropriated.

giving a dinner at his house in Cambridge, Mass".,

Thomas Jkppeuson never spolt© longer than 
ten minutes to his life, and then always in a 
com rraulionn] toue, When he was inaugurated 
President he rode to tin* Capitol on horsebox k 
and unattended. He dismounted and tied ids 
horse to the fence, and then wont In, and having 
taken the oath of office, returned from the Cap- 
ilol in the same unostentatious manner. His

Hon. James Guthrie died at bis residence, 
at Louis) ilk*, Ky„ on the 13th Inst. He whs born 
fn Nelson Co., Ky., Deo. 5, 1702, and began his 
public life ns a etutboaiiiuiu between Louisville 
ami New Orleans. Ho afterwards studied law, 
and in 1820 was appointed Commonwealth’s At¬ 
torney by Gov. Adair, and has been prominently 
connected with Kentucky politics ever since, 
lie was five times elected State Representative 
a tut Senator, although the majority of the voters ' 
were radically opposed to him in politics. In 1819 
he was chosen President of tho State Constitu¬ 
tional Convention. Hu was President Pierce's 
Secretary of the Treasury from 1863 to 1857, and 
in 1880 was a prominent candidate for the D< m- 
oeratic nomination for the Presidency, and re¬ 
ceived a highly flattering vote at tho Charleston 
Convention. In March, 180,7,1m took ills seat in 
tee Untied States Senate; but hi? health failing, 
he was compelled to resign in February, Wig. 
It was Mr. Guthrie's fortune to battle during a 
greater portion of his life in a political minority 
in Kent ucky ; but at last, the tide turned, and it 
was largely owing to his exert ions (hat the Whigs 
were defeated and L. W. Powell chosen Gov¬ 
ernor in 1851. During th©rebellion Mr. Guthrie 
was steadfast in his. loyalty to the Government, 
and was largely instrumental in preventing Ins 
native State from joining the Confederacy.

cuticle regains its natural color and smoothness.
